Convert password storage to a SQLite database

== Project Details ==
Currently firefox currently writes usernames and passwords to a file in the users profile (signon2.txt). Instead of this, it will be written and read from a sqlite database. I've looked at some of the c++ source code for interacting with a sqlite db and it seems simple enough. But, firefox uses a unified storage system called mozstorage that to my understanding already handles db interactions. I'll have to look into this. Also, I'll have to look into the patches already released for this assignment.
 
Tentatively my release schedule looks something like this:
 
v0.1<br/>
Have the tables set up in the db (possibly create the db or use an existing one). <br/>
v0.2<br/>
Start having data written to the db in conjunction with the file read writes. I don't see a need to strip out the current code.<br/>
v0.3<br/>
Continue with the read/writting to the db.<br/>
